Oil offers several advantages over air and water cooling, making it particularly effective for high-temperature operations, electrically sensitive applications, and environments prone to corrosion. Oil is beneficial for applications that need to be electrically insulated or that operate above the boiling point of water. This is because oil does not conduct electricity and can safely be used in high voltage areas or with sensitive electrical components, providing an added layer of safety against electrical hazards. Moreover, oil has a higher boiling point than water, allowing it to maintain stable thermal properties at temperatures where water would vaporise, thus ensuring consistent cooling performance under extreme conditions. This makes oil an excellent choice for cooling systems that must operate at high temperatures without the risk of boiling and the associated risks of pressure build-up and system failure.

Most of the passive cooling systems offered by Applied Thermal Control can be compatible with oil cooling, following a detailed consultation with our sales and technical teams. This flexibility allows for the customisation of cooling solutions to meet the specific requirements of various industries and equipment, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
